What is a Beveled Mirror?

Jay Lubker • Aug 25, 2016

Beveled Mirror Beveled mirrors are types of mirrors that have edges cut at a certain angle, and are cut to the desired dimensions. Beveled mirrors serve the same purpose as any other mirror, a decorative item that reflects light. However, a beveled edge gives a mirror a more embellished look.

A beveled edge is a sloped edge on a piece of glass or glass mirror. Beveled edges generally can be ¼”, ½”, ¾”, 1”, 1 ¼” or 1 ½” wide, and most commonly are either ½” or 1” wide. Bevels are cut directly onto the surface of the mirror. Another very popular option is beveled strips, which are mounted to the face of a mirror. Bevel strip are generally either 2”, 4” or 6” wide and they generally have ½” wide bevels on two edges. These bevel strips are often referred to as bevel overlays because they are adhered to the surface of a mirror or overlaid on the surface of a mirror. They are most commonly used to create a raised border around the perimeter of the mirror.

beveled strip mirror Modern beveled glass is made by running the glass or mirror on a conveyer belt through the beveling machine, with either a straight edge beveler or a shape beveler. These machines have grinding wheels with varying grits. As the glass moves along thru the machine, the grits become ever finer until the last grinding wheel puts a high polish on the glass.
